18.09: ARMOURY EVENING (INSTEAD OF FENCING)

Can’t see anything wrong here? Then you NEED to join our Armoury Evening!

There is NO FENCING on 18.09 as the school is closed for an event.

So back by popular demand we are running an Armoury Evening instead.

Join us to learn the basiscs of how your weapons work and how to repair and maintain them – something every fencer should be able to do.

Venue is TBC but likely the Prae Wood Arms if we have sufficient numbers to hire one of their private rooms – if so we will also include a finger buffet.

We need to know numbers as soon as possible to be able to book the room

Please book your attendance via the normal bookings portal: LINK HERE

This is free to monthly & quarterly paying members or the normal nightly visitor fee


21.09: SAFC OPEN AIR EVENT 2025

Tickets are NOW AVAILABLE from the SAFC webshop. 

For further information and to book, please visit HERE

Numbers are initially limited to 15 each for weapon (Epee / Foil / Sabre) though we may alter caps depending on entries.

As in previous years it will be possible to enter multiple weapon categories.  There will also be a Master At Arms award for the best results in all 3 weapons.

Please book as early as possible as this really helps us plan the event and avoids disappointment if you miss out!

 

See you on the piste later……….. En garde!!  SAFC
